Details

[ This bug is one of the recommendations in the W3C's "Common User Agent 
Problems" document, URL above. One bug has been filed on each recommendation, 
for deciding whether we do it and, if not, whether we should. ]

1.13 Use the user interface language as the default value for language
negotiation.

     The user should be allowed to specify the set of languages that the
     user agent may use for language negotiation.

     In case the user does not specify any language, the user agent may use
     the language of its user interface as the value sent out. The user
     agent should allow the user to override this behavior.

This is fixed. In language packs, we can (and do) specify a default list of
languages for the 'accept-language' header.
